Used Equipment - Soon To Be Scrapped!
Hi eeveryone,
A machine engraving company next door is liquidating, but time is short. i just went over to visit and the scrap man is coming this week. It's in Woburn MA. Lots of milling machine vises and other stuff. Inspection tables and tools. A Bridgeport and a Sunmax lathe. Anyone around this part of the country?
You can call me at 1-617-797-9930. Just trying to help a nice guy, and save some good iron:)
Payson.

Re: Small Miller 2000 compressor manual ?
It is quite likely that this may be a diaphragm compressor and
they do not require lube.

I have this very compressor and the manual. In the manual it
states that no oil is needed and all surfaces are permanently
lubricated. I can scan this manual for you if you'd like it's
dated 12/92. Just let me know, although it might take me a bit
of time.

One more time....
Maybe the seller would make appropriate
copies for a little compensation....

Re: Small Miller 2000 compressor manual ?
Here is one...
Maybe the seller will photograph, or
photocopy, or scan to PDF the manual for a $5 offer?
Maybe "Print Screen" the actual eBay
images as well...
Good Luck!

Re: DIY power feed for mill ?
I found this video that shows a power feed using a wiper motor. ?It allows for a quick disconnect so the hand wheels can be used.

Re: DIY power feed for mill ?
I did a X axis power feed on my XD-2 minimill. Lots of videos on u-tube. I just used a windshield wiper motor, power supply, and a speed controller ordered from various places on the internet. It was back in 2023 so I don't remember exactly what I bought from where. I made all the brackets and a drive mechanism to engage and disengage the feed. It works great.?

For my 9C I had found both a 100 and 127 tooth gears. Separately
not as a compound. I made a compound and that allows me to chase
metric on it.?
There are several other pairs that work.?
Yes you need a compound of some sort. BUT some metric are
close.

I have an early British Car.?
Most of the fasteners I needed were available in the US at
several suppliers.?
But I have made quite a few on either my 9C or 10l.?
My car uses mostly BSF (British Standard Fine) that’s an inch
based thread with a 55 degree V. There are one or two Whitworth.
That’s basically BSF, again a 55 degree v.?
Machine screws are BA series. 47 degree V and sort of metric
based.?
Most engine and Gearbox bolts are OLDER metric threads but
with BSF hex heads.?
I suspect you may need BSCY, British Standard Cycle. Also
called BSB. British Standard Brass. 55 degree V and 26 tpi.?
Here is one UK source I have used.?
?
Here is one of my projects.?
In the gearbox was a locating screw holding a ground
shaft in place. ?
It had Metric threads, BSF Hex, and a locating nip on the
end. ?TOP in Photo.?
I ordered a
replacement from the usual sources. SECOND screw.?
Note that this has a
standard metric Hex and while it might do the job, it’s
not acceptable.?
I was able to get a
used screw (third) but wanting something a little stronger
I decided to make once.?
I purchased 6” of
Molly steel, turned the nib, chased the threads and
milled, on my lathe, the correct hex.?
BOTTOM screw.?
There have been many
similar problems that an hour or two on my lathes have
solved.?
You can do it.?
Jim B,
Adam,
I ask out of 100%
self interest. I have a 1970s Viscount bicycle for
which I need to buy at least one bolt. The thread is
English and only available here for a king's ransom,
if at all. I'd like to have a "friend" on that side
of the pond who'd help me obtain them. I'm perfectly
willing to not only cover the actual cost, but also
add remuneration for the effort involved.
All the best,
Dave

Re: 9a for Sale in the UK , bike question
Same for me Animal, but down here in Australia the Brooks seats were very expensive and I went for a leather covered nylon Italian made seat. It was terrific and need a lot less care and attention than the full leather Brooks. Cheers John ?
